Chapter 651 - 656: That’s my child.
At this point, all the servants in the house know that she brought the incense. If she doesn’t admit it now, wouldn’t that imply she’s guilty?
So, she could only grit her teeth and acknowledge it.
"Yes, yes, I gave it to her... I heard it’s very good for the body, so..."
"Good for the body? I think you have ulterior motives!" Xiahou Xiu Yun showed no sympathy for Rebecca’s pitiful look and then questioned the ancient physician, "What harm does this do to a pregnant woman?"
"Pregnant woman? A pregnant woman absolutely cannot use this. According to ancient medicine, musk has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing the meridians, but it is extremely harmful to the fetus."
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the room dropped by twenty degrees!
Extremely harmful to the fetus...
Not to mention anything else, just based on this sentence, Rebecca’s position in Xingtian’s heart plummeted.
Ran Xiangsi instinctively hugged her stomach, looking at Rebecca with a wary face.
She thought, this person always had animosity towards her, how could she still be kind enough to give gifts?
It turns out, she was plotting against her!
Carelessness... If Xiahou Xiu Yun hadn’t brought her back and smelled this scent, in the next month, her child might have silently disappeared!
Moreover, although Ran Xiangsi couldn’t detect the smell of musk, she had heard of it many times!
In those ancient TV dramas, isn’t this what the concubines use against each other?
Although TV dramas might exaggerate, they’re definitely not entirely made up...
"Specially giving me this kind of thing, you really went through a lot of trouble!" Ran Xiangsi stood up, walked over to Rebecca, and glared at her angrily!
How could this woman’s heart be so vicious?
"..." Rebecca was silent for a moment, bit her teeth, and then denied it, "This... Does this really harm the child? I didn’t know... And when I gave it to Xiangsi, I didn’t know she was pregnant!"
Fortunately, Rebecca’s mind worked quickly, and she tried to extricate herself with just a few words.
After speaking, Rebecca hurriedly looked at Xingtian, casting a plea for help, "Uncle, please believe me, how could I do such a thing?"
Xingtian furrowed his brows, thinking carefully, Ran Xiangsi’s pregnancy was a recent event, and Rebecca couldn’t have known in advance.
Maybe, this was really just a coincidence.
He then stepped forward, trying to smooth things over for Rebecca.
"Everyone, stop talking, this should be just a coincidence, Rebecca she..."
"Father." Xing Chen stepped forward, interrupting Xingtian before he could finish speaking.
Xing Chen was no fool. As things developed to this point, he had already seen through what was going on.
He knew very well what kind of person Rebecca was and what kind of heart she had.
Everything else could be overlooked.
But the person Rebecca wanted to harm was Xiangsi, was their child.
This was unforgivable.
Xingtian turned his gaze towards his son, only to hear a steadier voice than his own.
"That is my child."
Simple words without too much embellishment, yet they conveyed a strong emphasis and anger!
Yes, that was Xing Chen’s child!
Which meant, Xing Chen would never let this matter rest!
Anyone who harmed his child was the same as harming him!
Rebecca hadn’t expected Xing Chen’s tone to be so resolute, she widened her eyes, feeling a bit at a loss...
